Before you book
When hiring a sportsground applicants must first read:
Points of note
A brief outline of some things to consider before booking a sportsground are detailed below:
Litter bins
Litter bins are essential if you are serving food or drink. As part of your booking, you need to hire one bin for every 30 people attending the function.
Back-to-back bookings and overstays
Council's grounds continue to be heavily booked. To ensure ground quality is maintained and that all hirers receive fair ground allocations, bookings times must be strictly adhered to.
Lighting
The lights will be turned on at the time(s) specified by the hirer. If additional time is required for setting up and/or packing up, then this must be factored into the start and finish times of the booking.
Parking
When using Council sportsgrounds, please ensure that all vehicles are parked in the designated parking areas and not on a grassed area unless authorised by Council.
Marquees
Marquees are not permitted in the North Sydney Council area.
Barbecues
Electric barbecues for public use can be found at the following locations:
- St Leonards Park
- Primrose Park
- Tunks Park
- Balls Head reserve
- Berry Island reserve
Portable gas barbecues are permitted, however consent is subject to current fire restrictions. Check the NSW Rural Fire Service information line 1800 679 737, or visit the website.
Please note, charcoal and wood barbecues are not permitted.
Drip mats/trays must be placed under the barbecue to collect any spillage. Council will take steps to recoup costs should any damage occur.
